Tag Archives: working together as a whole

We are like snowflakes. Each of us is unique. None of us is exactly the same. Like snowflakes, we can be very similar yet we each still have our own unique properties.

It is so important to cultivate our uniqueness….to be grateful of our differences. Can you imagine how boring the world would be if we were all the same? Our differences are a reason for celebration and learning and growth. Without them, there would be no exploration, no causes to work toward, no understanding to gain.

The thing we must be wary of is the fear of our differences. That fear has the potential to turn the beauty of our differences to ugliness. That fear whispers that we are not acceptable unless we are alike. The fear of unacceptance and misunderstanding is what we need to truly be afraid of because it not only robs us of our individuality, it robs us of our compassion and our destiny in life.

We each have a unique destiny; a reason why we are here. If we were all the same, we would not have a destiny, a soul-searching aspect for being alive. It is freeing to know that we are all unique like the snow the falls softly in the winter. Each snowflake is different, yet they all fall in peace and unity just outside our windows. They don’t wonder or worry about being different. They just are.

My wish is for us to be more like snowflakes. At peace. In unity. Not comparing ourselves to each other. Think of the beautiful snowfalls of destiny our combined efforts could accomplish! If we were not divided against ourselves, how much stronger we would be as a whole! As the saying goes, a whole is greater than the sum of its parts!
